minus-squareMigratingApe@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up16·11 days agoWhat does it mean to “go upstate”? North?
minus-squareBroadfern@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up22·11 days agoIn larger US states, yes. Typically north/northwest, like in Upstate New York.
minus-squareccunning@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·11 days agoI thought “Upstate” New York meant “not New York City”
minus-squareiAmTheTot@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up14·11 days agoDepends on where you are when you say it. To anyone in NYC, that’s probably true. But don’t say you’re in upstate NY if you’re in western NY.
minus-squarePoopBuffet@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·11 days agoWould that be Leftstate NY then? Or is there only a single cardinal direction within a state?
minus-squareTheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·edit-211 days agoUsually, yeah. In this context it probably just means from the lowland of the state to the mountains.
minus-squareORbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-211 days agoBased on what? That’s not how “upstate” is used… like ever. It’s not synonymous with “upstairs.”

minus-squareAlexLost@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9 days agoYeah, but I do love fishing in Quebec.
minus-squareprettybunnys@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·11 days agoWhich is a mistake, cuz down the country is where the water tastes like wine.
